چکیده

Aktruct-Uncertainty concerning sensor locations can seriously degrade the ability of an array to estimate the location of radiating sources. Array calibration then becomes an important issue. This paper deals with array calibration using spectrally disjoint near-field sources whose locations are not known a priori. .It calculates CramerRao bounds on source location and array shape errors. It shows that, with mild restrictions on source-array geometry, the array shape errors can be made arbitrarily small by using a sufficient number of sufficiently strong calibrating sources. The required number of calibrating sources is five for a four-sensor array, four for a five-sensor array, and three for an array of six or more sensors. Accurate calibration is not possible for a three-sensor array. While calibration can establish array shape with great accuracy, it cannot resolve a rotational uncertainty in array orientation. This uncertainty translates into a residual error in source bearings, but not in source ranges. Thus, incremental errors in target range due to sensor location uncertainty can be reduced to any desired extent. The paper also proposes an actual calibration procedure and presents simulation results indicating that useful calibration can be obtained with calibrating sources of very moderate signal-to-noise ratio.

Artificial Intelligence for Inferential Control of Crude Oil Stripping Process

Stripper columns are used for sweetening crude oil, and they must hold product hydrogen sulfide content as near the set points as possible in the faces of upsets. Since product    quality cannot be measured easily and economically online, the control of product quality is often achieved by maintaining a suitable tray temperature near its set point. Tray temperature control method, however, is n...

Dsp-based Implementation of a Real-time Doa Estimator for Underwater Acoustic Sources

Many direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation algorithms for acoustic sources based on sensor array measurements have been well developed and verified via computer simulations and/or small-scale water trough experiments. However, these results are not in practical use because the testing scenarios may not reflect real underwater environments. In order to have a better understanding of DOA estimati...

Statistical analysis of achievable resolution limit in the near field source localization context

In this fast communication, we derive the statistical resolution limit (SRL), characterizing the minimal parameter separation, to resolve two closely spaced known near-field sources impinging on a linear array. Toward this goal, we conduct on the first-order Taylor expansion of the observation model a Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test (GLRT) based on a Constrained Maximum Likelihood Estimator (...

Background and aims: Extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELF) is part of Spectrum of electromagnetic waves with range 30 to 300 Hz. The average magnetic field exposures in the workplace have been found to be higher in “electrical occupations” than in other occupations such as office work. The interaction between magnetic fields produced by power lines and substations with living organisms a...

Maximum Likelihood 3-D Near-Field Source Localization Using the EM Algorithm

In this paper, maximum likelihood estimator is proposed for passive localization of narrowband sources in the spherical coordinates (azimuth, elevation, and range). We adapt Expectation/Maximization iterative method to solve the complicated multi-parameter optimization problem appearing on the 3-D localization problem. The proposed algorithm is based on maximum likelihood criterion which employ...
